KDH Poll

Should the Killeen City Council narrow the scope of the proposed forensic audit of the city’s finances?

Total Votes: 41

1. Yes. Most of the city’s budget problems have surfaced in the last three years. 9 22%

2. Yes. An audit back to 2006 would be too expensive and time-consuming. 2 5%

3. No. If a forensic audit is to be conducted, it should be wide-ranging in scope. 15 37%

4. No. It would be short-sighted to assume budget issues didn’t surface until recently. 15 37%

5. Unsure. It’s hard to say what level of audit would benefit the city most. 0 0%
